0:53
Speaker 5: Appreciate good see.
0:54
Speaker 6: I get that you have to say, next man up,
0:57
Speaker 6: but this may be one injury you can't overcome. Losing Logs.
1:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a lot, it is.
1:03
Speaker 6: It is. Some might go after this week point.
1:06
Speaker 5: Some might say it's the highest rate to show in
1:08
Speaker 5: the history of the spike of HQ.
1:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a spike going on right now here. We
1:13
Speaker 3: are in London, Tony. We've done this a million times, yeah,
1:18
Speaker 3: a million and one right now and but a different
1:21
Speaker 3: role for you.
1:21
Speaker 5: The operation's done it all over the place too. We've
1:23
Speaker 5: done it in pubs, we've done it remotely, we've done
1:27
Speaker 5: it here. So this is fun.
1:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, back again, James, you're first with the Jaguars. Did
1:31
Speaker 3: you come with the Rams back in the day or no?
1:33
Speaker 2: You know what did tap in for our time with
1:35
Speaker 2: the Rams? A couple of different stops in terms of
1:38
Speaker 2: which hotel was that. But yeah, I got a chance
1:40
Speaker 2: to come here to the Grove once before, and so
1:43
Speaker 2: it's not uncharted territory.
1:45
Speaker 3: How was the the operation getting over here, Tony and
1:48
Speaker 3: the whole week here at the Grove? The staff here
1:50
Speaker 3: at the hotel is fantastic, but the operations behind it,
1:54
Speaker 3: you know, your first opportunity running that part of this organization.
1:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't get in the way, so it worked.
2:01
Speaker 5: I think listen, we've had we have a great group
2:05
Speaker 5: and they do a great job in each department getting
2:09
Speaker 5: everyone over here. It's it's obviously a big it's a
2:12
Speaker 5: big move we bring everything from Jacksonville here to London,
2:14
Speaker 5: and you got to do it quickly. It actually starts
2:17
Speaker 5: in the off season.
2:19
Speaker 7: Uh.
2:19
Speaker 5: We start prepping for this in the spring, and then
2:21
Speaker 5: in the summer we start shipping stuff over here. Hamza
2:25
Speaker 5: and his team does a great job of making sure
2:27
Speaker 5: the flights, hotels, transportation, Mindy with and Jackie with all
2:32
Speaker 5: the nutrition and food and and then that doesn't even
2:35
Speaker 5: speak to the actually having being ready to play a
2:37
Speaker 5: football game, which you got a video and equipment, supporting
2:42
Speaker 5: our supporting our coaches and players and making sure we
2:45
Speaker 5: can get on the field. It's full time. And and
2:48
Speaker 5: then at the same time, the front office, which James
2:51
Speaker 5: in the personnel department, has to keep on operating, and
2:54
Speaker 5: so we move that whole operation as well here to London.
2:59
Speaker 5: And the great thing is we haven't missed a beat.
3:02
Speaker 5: It's been you know, seamless. Everyone's working long hours and
3:06
Speaker 5: making sure that everything that we need to do to
3:10
Speaker 5: make sure we can compete on Sunday, be ready to
3:12
Speaker 5: win a football game, but also prepare for the future.
3:16
Speaker 5: People can do their jobs and do them well.
3:18
Speaker 2: Oh you gotta love it. Post game on Sunday, being
3:22
Speaker 2: able to work through art. Have there been any injuries,
3:25
Speaker 2: Are there any injuries that we need to make an
3:27
Speaker 2: adjustment to our roster immediately, And knowing that we got
3:32
Speaker 2: roughly a twenty four hour shot clock before we take off,
3:35
Speaker 2: and you know, we ended into our operation staff to
3:37
Speaker 2: be able to you know, get guys in and out efficiently,
3:41
Speaker 2: to be able to be a part of our flight
3:44
Speaker 2: over or even another who joined us from all the
3:48
Speaker 2: way on the West Coast, across country in the United
3:51
Speaker 2: States and then across the Pond and was able to
3:53
Speaker 2: get out for practice yesterday. So it's been a full
3:57
Speaker 2: speed ahead type of operation. But certainly gotta give a
4:00
Speaker 2: ton of credit to our group for making it as
4:02
Speaker 2: seamless as possible.
4:03
Speaker 5: Real quick on that. I mean, we were on the
4:04
Speaker 5: plane taking off and getting ready to take off and
4:08
Speaker 5: James came to me and says, hey, we got an
4:10
Speaker 5: opportunity to go get international player on practice squad and
4:15
Speaker 5: who just.
4:15
Speaker 6: Would probably has a passport that's.
4:19
Speaker 7: He's not British, not British German.
4:21
Speaker 2: Okay, so can you get back into the United States
4:25
Speaker 2: if you were to come over and practice for the
4:27
Speaker 2: week versus waits the United States for our return so you.
4:30
Speaker 5: Know, so we James dropped down on Hommes and the
4:33
Speaker 5: ops team said, hey, go figure it out, and as
4:34
Speaker 5: we're taking off, and I don't know how they did it,
4:38
Speaker 5: but next thing we know, uh, he's here with us.
4:40
Speaker 6: Do most players around the league have to have passports? Now?
4:44
Speaker 6: Is that.
4:47
Speaker 7: Limit your you know availability?
4:49
Speaker 6: Okay?
4:50
Speaker 7: For sure.
4:50
Speaker 3: There was one year where I think we signed a
4:53
Speaker 3: guy off of Cincinnati practice squad in Cincinnati and then
4:56
Speaker 3: but his passport was in Connecticut. Yeah, and though he
4:59
Speaker 3: had to go to conne to get separately and then
5:01
Speaker 3: medice over here later. And that's the situation.
5:03
Speaker 5: But that and that's the whole thing too. I mean,
5:06
Speaker 5: leading up to it, you have to make sure that
5:08
Speaker 5: you have all the players passports, and our coaches and
5:13
Speaker 5: I don't know how it's been a years past, but
5:15
Speaker 5: this year one or two can't locate them sure, and
5:18
Speaker 5: so next thing you know, you're on rush and you're
5:20
Speaker 5: trying to flip and get a new passport before we
5:24
Speaker 5: have to leave. Now, again, our team does a great
5:26
Speaker 5: job of thinking ahead and not waiting till the last second,
5:30
Speaker 5: and so there's plenty of time to go through these
5:32
Speaker 5: things and making sure everyone's prepared, and then it takes
5:35
Speaker 5: also some patience because as much as you want everything
5:38
Speaker 5: to be perfect and seamless, you know. So today's NFL
5:41
Speaker 5: is a lot of technology of what we're doing with
5:44
Speaker 5: all the data that we're capturing, our coaches are using
5:46
Speaker 5: those that data, our sports science are medical. I didn't
5:50
Speaker 5: talk about all the work that Ferg and his team
5:51
Speaker 5: have to do to get our trainers and making sure
5:54
Speaker 5: we can take care of our players here, and so
5:58
Speaker 5: all that has to happen. It's a large a lot
6:03
Speaker 5: of stress on technology, so we have people working long hours,
6:07
Speaker 5: and then the patients of our coaches and our players
6:09
Speaker 5: understanding that instead of something happening immediately, it might have
6:13
Speaker 5: to take a breath and we'll get things going as
6:15
Speaker 5: we go. And everyone's been great, and it's really a
6:18
Speaker 5: hats off to the whole organization.
6:20
Speaker 3: Tony Vaselli James Gladstone with us on Jags. HQ will
6:23
Speaker 3: dig into this matchup coming up on the field, the
6:25
Speaker 3: Rams and the Jaguars. But James, your entire career has
6:30
Speaker 3: been with the La Rams, starting as a senior assistant
6:32
Speaker 3: to the GM and twenty sixteen director of Scouting Strategy
6:36
Speaker 3: for a number of years up until last year. What
6:40
Speaker 3: are your emotions this week when you're facing a team
6:43
Speaker 3: that you've worked for your entire career.
6:45
Speaker 2: Oh, you know, there's a lot of respect for the
6:48
Speaker 2: la Rams, the organization, the people that are still there
6:52
Speaker 2: that I sort of learned the industry through. I know
6:56
Speaker 2: that there's a lot that I have to credit to
6:59
Speaker 2: them as it relates to me even being granted the
7:02
Speaker 2: opportunity to fill this role. Well, at the same time
7:06
Speaker 2: knowing that, look, the significance of every game is real,
7:10
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who the opponent is.
7:12
Speaker 7: I know, you can look at our players.
7:13
Speaker 2: There have been plenty who have come from a different organization,
7:17
Speaker 2: so it's no different in this instance for me.
7:19
Speaker 7: We're focused on ourselves.
7:21
Speaker 2: That's where we're rooting our minds, and that's been the
7:24
Speaker 2: case since we started this season. I know we certainly
7:29
Speaker 2: talked through the idea of our upcoming opponents who are
7:31
Speaker 2: some of the game wreckers those types of things. But
7:34
Speaker 2: you know, following this last matchup versus Seattle, we wanted
7:38
Speaker 2: to reimage the way we were approaching this week and
7:41
Speaker 2: make sure that the focus turned inward. And that's where
7:45
Speaker 2: I've been placing my thoughts, my mind, and you know,
7:48
Speaker 2: I don't think we can look past the significance of
7:50
Speaker 2: a game in London, right, we got an opportunity to
7:52
Speaker 2: represent the Jacksonville Jaguars on a global stage, and I
7:55
Speaker 2: think that's what carries a little bit more weight than
7:58
Speaker 2: anything at this point.
8:01
Speaker 6: The is it really rams. But it sounds like you
8:05
Speaker 6: want to talk about the rams too much, so I'll
8:06
Speaker 6: go another direction. The decision to come over early, I
8:13
Speaker 6: talk about that and how much of a positive has
8:16
Speaker 6: it been.
8:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that actually was a conversation we worked
8:19
Speaker 2: through in the early portion of the summer. Obviously, there's
8:22
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of legwork if you are
8:23
Speaker 2: going to come over early to tee this all up,
8:26
Speaker 2: and you know, we work through a number of the
8:29
Speaker 2: performance related aspects before anything and making it so that hey,
8:34
Speaker 2: we're going to root this and the idea of what
8:35
Speaker 2: can we do to best prepare ourselves to win the
8:37
Speaker 2: game on Sunday and beyond that, you start thinking, all right,
8:41
Speaker 2: if getting there sooner is actually what you would say
8:44
Speaker 2: is the best course of action, what are some of
8:46
Speaker 2: the added bonuses that come with that? Well, we're all
8:48
Speaker 2: going to be under the same roof for an extended
8:50
Speaker 2: period of time. We're going to be at a point
8:52
Speaker 2: in the season where the identity is starting to show
8:55
Speaker 2: itself and we need to capitalize on whatever momentum we
8:59
Speaker 2: might have behind it, knowing that we're going to separate
9:02
Speaker 2: for a bye week immediately after that. So I think
9:04
Speaker 2: a couple of those elements certainly stand out. Liam was
9:09
Speaker 2: the one who ultimately made the decision on which course
9:11
Speaker 2: of action would be best, and Tony and I did
9:14
Speaker 2: what we could support him through that decision making process
9:17
Speaker 2: and share our perspectives, but certainly happy at this point
9:21
Speaker 2: as it relates to how things have unfolded.
9:23
Speaker 3: James Gladstone, Tony Boselli with us. We're back in a
9:26
Speaker 3: moment and we will dig into this matchup at Wembley
9:28
Speaker 3: under the Arch for the eleventh time the Jaguars at
9:31
Speaker 3: Wembley Stadium, fourteenth Jaguars game all time in London coming
9:34
Speaker 3: up this Sunday, and this is JAG's HQ on the
9:37
Speaker 3: Jaguars Radio Network.
9:43
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
9:48
Speaker 1: right now.
9:51
Speaker 3: We are back from just outside of London ahead of
9:54
Speaker 3: this Week seven match up at Wembley Stadium as the
9:57
Speaker 3: Jaguars entertained the Los Angeles Ram. The Jaguars seven and
10:01
Speaker 3: six all time in London games. Welcome Back at Shaggs HQ,
10:06
Speaker 3: presented by Fresh from Florida, JP Shadwick with you, Jeff
10:09
Speaker 3: Logman on assignment tonight. John Oser is in with us,
10:13
Speaker 3: as is Tony Boselli and James Gladstone from the Grove
10:17
Speaker 3: in the library of the Manor House ahead of the
10:19
Speaker 3: Rams Jaguars matchup. And let's start with this Rams offense
10:23
Speaker 3: and the Jaguars defense this week, And obviously it starts
10:27
Speaker 3: with Matthew Stafford over sixty thousand passing yards, ninth now
10:31
Speaker 3: in league history, surpassed Dan Marino last week for ninth
10:35
Speaker 3: on the list. And he's seen it all kind of
10:38
Speaker 3: different ways. You were there when he was brought in.
10:42
Speaker 3: So is he's still obviously he's leading the league in
10:45
Speaker 3: passing yards this year.
10:47
Speaker 4: He's still got juice in him, There's no doubt.
10:48
Speaker 7: Cold blood, and you know he's got ice in the veins.
10:51
Speaker 2: And there are a few quarterbacks that are built the
10:54
Speaker 2: way he is still in existence. And you know, I
10:58
Speaker 2: think it's fair to say that he's got a couple
10:59
Speaker 2: guys on the perimeter that can help him out quite
11:02
Speaker 2: a bit, obviously, you know, with a couple of those
11:04
Speaker 2: names being Puka and Davante, and really right now, that
11:08
Speaker 2: whole crew is leading the league and receptions and yards
11:11
Speaker 2: for receivers, and you know, it's it's not going to
11:15
Speaker 2: be some easy feat to be able to, you know,
11:17
Speaker 2: step across from those guys. But I think our crew
11:19
Speaker 2: is putting together a great point and you know, our
11:22
Speaker 2: players are are certainly ready and and jacked about the
11:25
Speaker 2: op But you know, across the board, even as you
11:28
Speaker 2: look at their backfield, they got a workhorse back in
11:32
Speaker 2: Kyron Williams that they really rely heavily on in all
11:35
Speaker 2: all phases, and and upfront they got some veterans, and
11:39
Speaker 2: you know, I think throughout the course of the season
11:41
Speaker 2: they've already had to rely on a few different moving
11:43
Speaker 2: pieces and starting lineup. So still working through some kinks
11:46
Speaker 2: on that front, but nonetheless, it's going to be a
11:49
Speaker 2: fun challenge for our defensive front to be able to
11:52
Speaker 2: try and get after him, create some pressures and allow
11:55
Speaker 2: our defensive backfield to you know, hunt the ball and
11:59
Speaker 2: try and poke that thing out as much as possible
12:00
Speaker 2: create some of those turnovers that we were used to
12:03
Speaker 2: in the first quarter of the season. And I know
12:06
Speaker 2: that there will certainly be opps and we'll try and
12:09
Speaker 2: take advantage of them when they present itself.
12:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think if you look at Matthew Stafford,
12:14
Speaker 5: you have to impact him. You have to get him
12:17
Speaker 5: moving off his spot. I mean, James talked about it.
12:20
Speaker 5: He's a I don't want to say a dying bree,
12:22
Speaker 5: but the like he's an old school sit there in
12:25
Speaker 5: the face of rush, will not flinch and can make
12:28
Speaker 5: every throw known to mankind and is accurate. And so
12:31
Speaker 5: the only way you get guys like that off their
12:34
Speaker 5: game a little bit because he's seen it all, is
12:36
Speaker 5: you got to hit him. You got to try to
12:38
Speaker 5: get him off his spot a little bit and see
12:40
Speaker 5: if there's any way you can make a guy who
12:43
Speaker 5: is rarely uncomfortable uncomfortable. And I think so it's a
12:47
Speaker 5: great challenge to our front and getting after it. And
12:49
Speaker 5: then I think we have to take advantage of the
12:52
Speaker 5: turnover opportunities while they're there. We did that the first
12:55
Speaker 5: five games. We had two chances at turnovers. Against the Seahawks,
12:59
Speaker 5: we dropped one interset and another one floated in the air,
13:02
Speaker 5: and we didn't react maybe as quickly as you'd like
13:04
Speaker 5: to see. So the ball fell and those but those
13:07
Speaker 5: are opportunities that they're going to be there, and our
13:09
Speaker 5: defense does such a great job of creating chaos and
13:12
Speaker 5: and creating those opportunities. We've got to make sure we
13:14
Speaker 5: take advantage of them when they're there, because guys like
13:17
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford aren't gonna make a lot of mistakes. They're
13:20
Speaker 5: just such he's such a good such a good player.
13:22
Speaker 2: He's just like Medusa. Don't look at those eyes, you
13:25
Speaker 2: know what I mean. That's oh, yeah, well there's a book.
13:34
Speaker 5: In here.
13:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was, yeah, that's don't look at those
13:37
Speaker 2: things because they'll take you the wrong direction.
13:39
Speaker 7: I'll take you someplace you don't want to be.
13:41
Speaker 6: And he's such an underrated great player, uh and so
13:45
Speaker 6: poised Bucky Brooks in our Head podcast yesterday, talked about
13:49
Speaker 6: his ability to step up when necessary, but manage the
13:53
Speaker 6: game when necessary, and it just spoke to me of
13:57
Speaker 6: the control of the situation he has as a sixteen
14:00
Speaker 6: and seventeen year guy who's seen everything.
14:03
Speaker 2: Well, there's a mastery of the system for sure, and
14:06
Speaker 2: obviously that Tony had mentioned, he's seen it all. He
14:09
Speaker 2: is in full control, and even when you feel like
14:12
Speaker 2: there's a dull series two series back to back, he
14:16
Speaker 2: can strike at any moment, and there's no way that
14:19
Speaker 2: you can begin to press the snooze button, so to speak,
14:22
Speaker 2: when facing him.
14:23
Speaker 5: Not to scare everyone too much, but I mean, I
14:24
Speaker 5: even think about last year in the playoff game, which
14:27
Speaker 5: was a loss against the Eagles, but that was a
14:30
Speaker 5: game if you watch Matthew Stafford operate under extreme pressure.
14:34
Speaker 5: I remember watching that game the whole time of like
14:36
Speaker 5: the Eagles is gonna walk away with this at some
14:38
Speaker 5: point because of the pressure and the chaos they were
14:40
Speaker 5: creating on defense, And you just watched them sit in
14:44
Speaker 5: the midst of just chaos, in a storm, coming in
14:47
Speaker 5: his face, making one throw after another. And I remember
14:51
Speaker 5: watching the game just amazed that a guy. I mean,
14:54
Speaker 5: you know he has the talent. But John, I think
14:56
Speaker 5: what you said is true. He's truly more of the
14:59
Speaker 5: great all time quarterbacks. That doesn't probably get mentioned enough,
15:02
Speaker 5: but if you watch him play in those moments, you
15:05
Speaker 5: realize that he's a dangerous man.
15:07
Speaker 6: How important is Pooka critical.
15:12
Speaker 5: After five games he had over fives over close and.
15:17
Speaker 7: Like the best receiver in football right now, he.
15:19
Speaker 4: Is on track to set the record for guardage.
15:21
Speaker 5: Yes, the NFL, I'd tell that is one thing to
15:24
Speaker 5: look for sure.
15:26
Speaker 6: That much because Cooper cup was so good and then
15:28
Speaker 6: it stepped right in. How is he different?
15:33
Speaker 2: I think in a few ways, he's not the same
15:35
Speaker 2: type of precision that Cooper played with h He's also
15:40
Speaker 2: a bit more dense than Cooper, and some of the
15:44
Speaker 2: rebounding capabilities tilt and and Puka's favor. But I do
15:49
Speaker 2: know that Cooper made such a dent on who Pooka
15:53
Speaker 2: now is as it related to that that first year
15:56
Speaker 2: of onboarding, when when Cooper spent an off season rehab,
16:01
Speaker 2: Pooka got a ton of reps and it was the
16:04
Speaker 2: mental aspect of plays, positioning, leverage, all the nuances that
16:11
Speaker 2: Cooper had innately developed on his own but continued to
16:15
Speaker 2: refine throughout his pro career that he was sharing that
16:18
Speaker 2: wisdom with Pooka, and Pooka did his part in absorbing
16:21
Speaker 2: that and applying it, and it certainly helped with an
16:25
Speaker 2: accelerated sort of production in those early years. But now
16:29
Speaker 2: he's had a chance to tap into some of DeVante's wisdom.
16:34
Speaker 7: And leverage that.
16:35
Speaker 2: But he is a very challenging receiver to stop because
16:38
Speaker 2: that inter immediate game is something that you know, they
16:43
Speaker 2: really take advantage of.
16:44
Speaker 3: One final Jags defensive thought here, Devin Lloyd didn't make
16:48
Speaker 3: the trip, So Ventrel Miller's gonna step in. And then
16:52
Speaker 3: how difficult is what Trayvon Walker's trying to do playing
16:55
Speaker 3: with the club right now?
16:56
Speaker 2: Oh, that dude is a beast. You know, it's not
16:58
Speaker 2: an easy thing to do. I can tell you what.
17:00
Speaker 2: We're now just over fourteen days removed from surgery, so
17:04
Speaker 2: he'll still be in a club this next week by
17:07
Speaker 2: week help in terms of freeing some of those fingers
17:10
Speaker 2: up for the game after. But at this point in time,
17:14
Speaker 2: he's dealing with plenty of pain, trying to figure out
17:17
Speaker 2: how to best use that in shedding blocks and creating
17:21
Speaker 2: some moves as a rusher, getting more familiar with that.
17:24
Speaker 2: It's not uncharted territory. It had done in college and
17:26
Speaker 2: even at high school. But nonetheless, each time that you
17:29
Speaker 2: put it back on, you're still getting a little bit
17:32
Speaker 2: of a feel for how to best utilize that limb.
17:36
Speaker 2: But Yeah, that's not an easy thing to do with Devin.
17:38
Speaker 2: It's tough when he's playing such good ball to potentially
17:42
Speaker 2: slow down that momentum that's behind his back, I know
17:46
Speaker 2: is something that popped up for him and between him.
17:49
Speaker 2: Coaching staff felt like in game that it made the
17:52
Speaker 2: most sense to take a step back and let Ben
17:54
Speaker 2: Treel get a run.
17:55
Speaker 7: Feeling good, and Ventrel showed up. You know, he was
17:58
Speaker 7: part of a half sack that.
18:00
Speaker 2: Was a big moment in the game, and he'd been
18:03
Speaker 2: doing a great job on special teams and our coaching
18:05
Speaker 2: staff doesn't have any fear heading into this one, especially
18:08
Speaker 2: off the heels of Ventrel stepping in to a game
18:10
Speaker 2: against an opponent who was really putting a lot of
18:14
Speaker 2: priority on the running game and wasn't able to find
18:17
Speaker 2: solid footing in that phase.
18:18
Speaker 7: And a big part of it was because of Ventrel's impact.
18:20
Speaker 6: Tony, I watched you play through stuff when you played.
18:23
Speaker 6: How impressive was what Trayvon' said.
18:25
Speaker 5: Oh, I think it speaks to who he is and
18:28
Speaker 5: his desire and his love for the game of football
18:31
Speaker 5: and the type of competitor he is. And I think
18:32
Speaker 5: the good news is you watched them operate against Seattle
18:38
Speaker 5: and you could tell a little bit that he was
18:39
Speaker 5: still feeling his way through, but played solid, good, good
18:42
Speaker 5: strong football. Watching him today in our full padded practice,
18:46
Speaker 5: you could see it he's even kind of evolving and
18:49
Speaker 5: becoming more natural. I thought he had a really good
18:51
Speaker 5: day to day and it didn't jump out that it
18:55
Speaker 5: was impacting his rush in what he was trying to do.
18:57
Speaker 5: So I think what you're gonna see is he's a
18:59
Speaker 5: guy that as a high pain tolerance at say it least,
19:04
Speaker 5: He's built different and I think he'll go out and
19:07
Speaker 5: play a great game, and I think he'll do He's
19:09
Speaker 5: just gonna get more and more confident with it and
19:11
Speaker 5: confident that confidence will produce even better play than we
19:15
Speaker 5: saw in Seattle.
19:16
Speaker 3: All right, guys, we'll come back in a moment. We'll
19:18
Speaker 3: take a look at the Rams defense and this offensive
19:20
Speaker 3: matchup for the Jags this week and get some final
19:22
Speaker 3: thoughts ahead of the Rams Jaguars matchup at Wembley Stadium
19:26
Speaker 3: in London. It's Jaggs HQ on Jaguars Radio.
19:37
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
19:42
Speaker 1: right now.
19:45
Speaker 7: J P.
19:46
Speaker 3: Shadwick, but John Ozier, Tony Basselli and James Gladstone with
19:49
Speaker 3: us from the Grove just outside of London.
19:51
Speaker 4: It is Jaggs HQ.
19:54
Speaker 3: And the Jags and the Rams coming up to Sunday
19:56
Speaker 3: at Wembley Stadium.
19:58
Speaker 4: All right, let's get into this.
20:00
Speaker 3: The Jaguars offensive matchup this week against the Rams defense,
20:03
Speaker 3: and let's start up front offensive line. Robert Hainsey's on
20:07
Speaker 3: the injury report was limited on Wednesday. Was back out
20:11
Speaker 3: there a little bit on Thursday as well. It seems
20:13
Speaker 3: like that's moving ahead in the proper direction. But last
20:18
Speaker 3: week couple of illegal formations, some issues pre snap again
20:24
Speaker 3: on offense, there was an offensive off side and James
20:27
Speaker 3: you talked about it. It's kind of all about the
20:30
Speaker 3: Jaguars right now. And on the offensive side, it kind
20:32
Speaker 3: of begins with the controllables and not getting behind.
20:35
Speaker 7: The chains, no, and that's where a lot of the
20:37
Speaker 7: focus falls, right.
20:38
Speaker 2: We have talked about toughness being a pillar of our team,
20:44
Speaker 2: and we're not just talking about physical toughness. We're talking
20:48
Speaker 2: about mental toughness. And the physical element has been such
20:52
Speaker 2: a point of emphasis today and this is a week
20:55
Speaker 2: where we're not separating from that but we are applying
21:00
Speaker 2: thought to the mental toughness and that's discipline, right, that
21:04
Speaker 2: ties into a lot of these pre snap blunders or
21:09
Speaker 2: issues or penalties.
21:10
Speaker 7: So it certainly got to see an improvement there.
21:13
Speaker 2: But that's where a focus is fallen, and I know
21:16
Speaker 2: Robert is somebody that certainly helps to quiet a lot
21:20
Speaker 2: of that because he's such a cerebral player.
21:22
Speaker 7: Right.
21:22
Speaker 2: We talked about Matthew and having mastery of that offense.
21:25
Speaker 2: Robert has mastery of this offense. It's not his first
21:28
Speaker 2: go round in it. You know, anytime you're going through
21:31
Speaker 2: something for the first time, it's going to be a
21:32
Speaker 2: bit challenging, and that's what I know our group is experiencing.
21:36
Speaker 2: But he certainly helps to alleviate some of those issues
21:41
Speaker 2: along the way. And I think with him set to play,
21:44
Speaker 2: that should be added value as it relates to our
21:48
Speaker 2: upcoming opponent.
21:50
Speaker 7: The strength of their defense.
21:51
Speaker 2: Is across from rol It's not all that different than
21:55
Speaker 2: Seattle in terms of where the best part of their
21:57
Speaker 2: defense falls, and so I think that that'll be a
22:00
Speaker 2: fun outing and I know it always gets somebody like
22:03
Speaker 2: Tony Biselli jacked up to see some of these good
22:05
Speaker 2: rushers right. Those are the games where you know you're
22:08
Speaker 2: building yourself up for the for the matchup on Sunday
22:11
Speaker 2: as the week progresses.
22:12
Speaker 7: But it should be a fun one, Tony.
22:15
Speaker 4: How good are these drushers?
22:16
Speaker 5: They're good players. I mean they're young Byron Young. He's
22:20
Speaker 5: a guy who's gonna make it. Has all kinds of
22:22
Speaker 5: athletic ability you can get on your edge, has enough
22:25
Speaker 5: power to threaten, you know, but really he wants to
22:28
Speaker 5: make life miserable on your edge. And then you got
22:31
Speaker 5: the probably the exact opposite and Jared Verse, who is
22:36
Speaker 5: going to start trying to run right through your face.
22:39
Speaker 5: And he has elite power and then uses his power
22:43
Speaker 5: to work edges because he starts getting players leaning, lunging
22:47
Speaker 5: in out of sorts. And so they're both very good players,
22:51
Speaker 5: and you gotta got like Fisk inside, You got to
22:53
Speaker 5: put them forward. Another big guy who's been revitalized later
22:58
Speaker 5: in his career. But I go back to what we've
23:01
Speaker 5: been talking about. It it's really more about us. This
23:04
Speaker 5: is an offensive line that going into Seattle was performing
23:07
Speaker 5: at a very high level and has a lot of pride.
23:11
Speaker 5: They went into Seattle and did not perform the way
23:14
Speaker 5: that any of us were, especially them, wanted to and
23:18
Speaker 5: so I think it's a little bit of hey, bring
23:21
Speaker 5: whoever you're going to bring, But we just want to
23:23
Speaker 5: get back on the field, to get back to who
23:25
Speaker 5: we are and that's a physical, tough, control the line
23:29
Speaker 5: of scrimmage group and have a lot of confidence those
23:32
Speaker 5: guys excited that Haines didn't come back. But at the
23:35
Speaker 5: same time, I think it's fair to say that Monheim
23:38
Speaker 5: did a very good job coming in as a rookie.
23:40
Speaker 5: Was he played solid, he played good football and so
23:44
Speaker 5: but always getting your veteran back and one of the
23:46
Speaker 5: leaders of that group back on the field's and be good.
23:49
Speaker 5: But it's going to take five guys working together, having
23:53
Speaker 5: a game plan, understanding what's coming, but take You have
23:56
Speaker 5: to take the fight to them. If you sit back
23:59
Speaker 5: and get in awe of great pass rushers, the name
24:03
Speaker 5: on the jersey and what they've done in the past,
24:05
Speaker 5: they deserve all the credit in the world. At the
24:09
Speaker 5: same time, you have to have some pride in what
24:11
Speaker 5: you've accomplished up to this point the season and who
24:14
Speaker 5: you are and take the fight to them. And I
24:17
Speaker 5: think we will. I think we'll perform well and looking
24:20
Speaker 5: forward to those guys rebounding a little bit back on
24:22
Speaker 5: the field and restating what they were the first five
24:25
Speaker 5: weeks of the season and showing the rams of this league,
24:29
Speaker 5: all our fans saying, hey, that was an outlier last week.
24:33
Speaker 5: This is who we are.
24:34
Speaker 6: I've been hitting this all week. But when you have
24:37
Speaker 6: seven penalties to take you back to ten yards or more,
24:41
Speaker 6: it's hard to pass block against that sometimes, And when
24:43
Speaker 6: you're not running, how important is it to not get
24:47
Speaker 6: in those situations?
24:48
Speaker 5: You can't get behind the chains, and it's great pass rushers,
24:50
Speaker 5: that's what they want, and that's everybody. And so that
24:53
Speaker 5: comes back to lining up right. We had a couple
24:57
Speaker 5: where Anton Harrison lined up off the ball. Cannot do that.
25:01
Speaker 5: He's too good of a player. Number one, he's the
25:04
Speaker 5: one guy that does not need to cheat the line
25:06
Speaker 5: of scrimmage because he is so athletic. That is his superpower.
25:11
Speaker 5: And so that's a mental lapse and he's got to
25:13
Speaker 5: clean that up and he knows it. And so you
25:15
Speaker 5: hurt yourself by getting behind the sticks. And now all
25:18
Speaker 5: of a sudden you're playing right into their game. Because
25:20
Speaker 5: we want to run the ball, we want to win
25:21
Speaker 5: on first down, getting good second downs. Worst case there
25:25
Speaker 5: we're in a third and very manageable situation where you
25:27
Speaker 5: can play action pass run is still in play. That's
25:30
Speaker 5: how you take pass rushers out.
25:33
Speaker 7: Of the game.
25:34
Speaker 5: And so it's all eleven, including the quarterback. You know,
25:38
Speaker 5: I think Trevor would go back and tell you, like
25:40
Speaker 5: sitting and looking at that game again, it's like, hey,
25:42
Speaker 5: maybe I could have done a better good job to
25:44
Speaker 5: help our guys out, our receivers, winning into the line
25:47
Speaker 5: of scrimmage, getting open fast, running crisp, precise routes so
25:52
Speaker 5: that the ball can be delivered on time backs, making
25:55
Speaker 5: sure we're chipping, picking up the blitz so as an
25:59
Speaker 5: offensive line, and we know at the end of the day,
26:02
Speaker 5: when if there's seven sacks and the quarterback gets hit
26:05
Speaker 5: as much as he did, we are going to get blamed,
26:08
Speaker 5: as we should. It's our responsibility. But when you are
26:11
Speaker 5: honest and look at it, it's an operation that takes
26:13
Speaker 5: eleven individuals to keep a quarterback clean, and so we's
26:19
Speaker 5: got to do a better job from pre snap staying
26:21
Speaker 5: ahead of the chains. Liam is very conscious of it.
26:24
Speaker 5: Call how we call plays, how we attack their defense
26:28
Speaker 5: and try not to put our guys in situations that
26:30
Speaker 5: are hard, because let me tell you what, I don't
26:33
Speaker 5: care how good you are. You line up in too
26:35
Speaker 5: many third lungs against great pass rushers, it could be
26:40
Speaker 5: very well be a long day.
26:41
Speaker 6: Thirty years of writing, JP, I rarely write that the
26:44
Speaker 6: offense gave up sacks. You aluys right, that's.
26:47
Speaker 5: Not true, but that's part of it and everyone understands that.
26:51
Speaker 5: But John, you know this. It is eleven guys working together,
26:56
Speaker 5: ball out on time, good routes ol doing that. Our
27:00
Speaker 5: job backs, making sure they're chipping if they can before
27:04
Speaker 5: they get out their call to pick up the blitz.
27:06
Speaker 5: We have some issues. We had an issue where we
27:08
Speaker 5: had a clean blitzer. It shouldn't happen. Those are all
27:10
Speaker 5: different things that we can clean up and do better
27:13
Speaker 5: to give Trevor a little bit more comfort back there,
27:15
Speaker 5: to find our playmakers down the field.
27:17
Speaker 6: James and I was covering Tony. He told me more
27:18
Speaker 6: than once that it was not just the offensive line.
27:21
Speaker 6: Didn't get that's not true.
27:27
Speaker 5: I was thinking, but I never said it out loud.
27:30
Speaker 3: Love it Rams, Jaguars Wimbley, Sunday, nine thirty am Eastern.
27:36
Speaker 4: Good luck gentlemen, let's get a win under the arch.
27:39
Speaker 5: That's what we're here to do. Yeah, the reason that
27:41
Speaker 5: come all the way over here and not win.
27:43
Speaker 7: We're not going to talk special teams.
27:45
Speaker 5: Oh we can't.
27:47
Speaker 7: We got the three phases in.
27:49
Speaker 4: Okay, we got special.
27:51
Speaker 5: We got to make our points. We had opportunities. Four
27:52
Speaker 5: points we left on the board.
27:54
Speaker 4: You miss you miss kicks.
27:55
Speaker 5: I mean, look for business. How critical the end of halfway?
28:00
Speaker 5: If we go back, we got a ten to six game,
28:04
Speaker 5: it's ten six wide because we missed an extra point, right,
28:07
Speaker 5: so that's one point. We then do a good job
28:10
Speaker 5: at then a half, have a blunder, go backwards a
28:13
Speaker 5: little bit, but have a fifty yard field goal which
28:17
Speaker 5: Cam can make in a sleep. He's an outstanding field
28:20
Speaker 5: goal kicker. We miss that. They now have outstanding field
28:25
Speaker 5: position and they go get three. So that's a six point.
28:30
Speaker 5: You have the missed extra point. That's a seven point
28:32
Speaker 5: difference of points that we should have had and taken
28:36
Speaker 5: away from them in the first half. What does it
28:38
Speaker 5: feel like if you if you swing that in that
28:41
Speaker 5: kind of game, in that it feels like.
28:44
Speaker 7: Their complimentary element of this.
28:46
Speaker 2: Right, we were on the twenty nine yard line and
28:49
Speaker 2: we end up having a false start. We then have
28:51
Speaker 2: a sack two yard gain and then a sack right.
28:55
Speaker 2: So it was a challenging window of plays that were
28:58
Speaker 2: strung together that four fifty longer feelable so that it's
29:03
Speaker 2: not all on him, just like a sacks, not all
29:05
Speaker 2: on the Oh. Well, now I will as we're looking forward,
29:10
Speaker 2: this is going to be an interesting kickoff that we're
29:13
Speaker 2: facing because these guys are able to kick a knuckleball
29:18
Speaker 2: pretty effectively. So if you want to go ahead and
29:21
Speaker 2: look back at some of the teams that they faced
29:22
Speaker 2: and how those returners have performed in those instances, we've
29:27
Speaker 2: we've got to be on our p's and q's here
29:29
Speaker 2: and make sure that we can field these things cleanly.
29:32
Speaker 2: And that's a real play these days, you know, it's
29:34
Speaker 2: not something that you can just overlook.
29:36
Speaker 7: So we're looking forward to that up as well.
29:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll end with this. I think everything we've talked
29:42
Speaker 5: about it comes back to we have. It has to
29:45
Speaker 5: start with us. If we focus on playing good, clean football,
29:50
Speaker 5: eliminate the controllable pendelties that you talked about, JP, play
29:53
Speaker 5: good complimentary football across all three phases, then we can
29:58
Speaker 5: live with whatever the outcome is. The ones that are
30:02
Speaker 5: hard to live with is when you beat yourself, when
30:06
Speaker 5: you have penalties that are mental airs, alignment issues, so
30:11
Speaker 5: on and so forth that lead to negative yardage behind
30:13
Speaker 5: the sticks that you do the basics, things that you
30:17
Speaker 5: do day in and day out not well and you
30:19
Speaker 5: end up losing a game because of that. Those are
30:22
Speaker 5: hard to live with. And so I think the focus
30:25
Speaker 5: this week going into this game, James hit on it.
30:28
Speaker 5: We want to be a tough team. We pride ourselves
30:31
Speaker 5: and being tough, but that is not just physical toughness,
30:33
Speaker 5: it's mental toughness. So being a disciplined football team. If
30:37
Speaker 5: we go out wimbley against an outstanding organization lots of
30:41
Speaker 5: instagrams been in the Super Bowl multiple times under Sean
30:44
Speaker 5: McVay of one to one Hall of Fame quarterback on
30:48
Speaker 5: the other side of the field. But we can go
30:50
Speaker 5: out and take care of ourselves and play tough football
30:54
Speaker 5: physically and mentally. We'll live with whatever the scoreboard says
30:58
Speaker 5: at the end.
30:59
Speaker 3: Tony James for the time, as always, enjoy mister London
31:02
Speaker 3: over here, BISSELLI, He'll.
31:04
Speaker 4: Show you the way, James.
31:05
Speaker 5: I'm just here for the ride.
31:06
Speaker 3: Baby, Thanks guys, Tony Boselli, James Gladstone with US plenty
31:11
Speaker 3: more ahead.
31:12
Speaker 4: This is jags HQ.
31:21
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues right.
31:26
Speaker 3: Now and we are on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented
31:31
Speaker 3: by the University of Florida, number one university in the
31:33
Speaker 3: US News and World Reports, number.
31:35
Speaker 4: One state for education.
31:37
Speaker 3: J P. Shadwick with John Osher from the grove just
31:39
Speaker 3: outside of Watford, northwest of London, home base for the
31:43
Speaker 3: Jaguars this week ahead of the matchup at Wembley this Sunday,
31:46
Speaker 3: the Rams and the Jags, the fourteenth London game all
31:49
Speaker 3: time for the Jaguars, the eleventh at Wembley.
31:53
Speaker 4: Our thanks to Tony BISSELLI, James.
31:54
Speaker 3: Gladstone and yeah, I mean it's all about the Jags
31:58
Speaker 3: this week. They keep saying that's been the theme around
32:01
Speaker 3: here and even asking James about his old team. He
32:03
Speaker 3: don want to go too deep into some of the
32:05
Speaker 3: history there, but certainly on his mind. But there's there's
32:08
Speaker 3: a lot to be worked on here for the Jags team.
32:11
Speaker 3: Better to work on it for and two let's start
32:14
Speaker 3: with that. I mean, no matter the result, it's a
32:15
Speaker 3: winning record coming out of this week. However, as Tony
32:19
Speaker 3: just referenced John, if you can control things that you're
32:23
Speaker 3: supposed to, they feel like they're good enough to match
32:26
Speaker 3: up with anybody in the league.
32:27
Speaker 6: Yeah. Look, I feel like they're a good team. I mean,
32:30
Speaker 6: I don't know that they are a great team yet.
32:33
Speaker 6: I think they're a building toward being a great team.
32:36
Speaker 6: It happens this year, next year, whatever, but you can
32:38
Speaker 6: feel the difference and you can feel the overall the discipline,
32:43
Speaker 6: the discipline of the organization. I thought the best quote
32:48
Speaker 6: this week was when Liam talked about they have their
32:51
Speaker 6: meeting where they find game wreckers, said, the reality is
32:55
Speaker 6: we've been our game wreckers. I think over the course
32:59
Speaker 6: of the season they are going to be the more
33:01
Speaker 6: physical and a discipline team over seventeen games. When you're
33:06
Speaker 6: playing seventeen NFL games, you're gonna have some dips, You're
33:10
Speaker 6: gonna have some stuff in games where what you want
33:12
Speaker 6: to do doesn't happen. You have to go back and
33:13
Speaker 6: fix it. So I think this is an incredible opportunity
33:17
Speaker 6: to go get stuff right that you didn't do well
33:21
Speaker 6: last week. And unlike some cases where when you get
33:25
Speaker 6: stuff right, you're like, well, yeah, but who are we playing.
33:28
Speaker 6: If you can get penalties and the offensive line right
33:32
Speaker 6: against the Rams, you're gonna feel really good about it
33:34
Speaker 6: coming out. And I think that's that will determine if
33:38
Speaker 6: they go into the fourth quarter having a chance to win.
33:40
Speaker 6: I think if they don't do those things, you could
33:42
Speaker 6: be doing what you did last week, which is facing
33:44
Speaker 6: uphill all fourth quarter where you didn't feel like you
33:47
Speaker 6: were in it. I think they can be in this
33:48
Speaker 6: game if they play well.
33:49
Speaker 3: And obviously the earlier in the season, this is a
33:52
Speaker 3: team that didn't really trail much. I mean they were
33:53
Speaker 3: heading games and that changes the whole dynamic of things.
33:56
Speaker 3: Let's come back, John and get into this head coaching matchup.
34:00
Speaker 3: Sean McVay, Liam Cohen pair a thirty nine year old.
34:04
Speaker 6: It's going out, It's right, that's right, Sean still thirty nine.
34:06
Speaker 4: We'll dig into that when we come back.
34:07
Speaker 3: This is Jags HQ on Jaguars Radio.
34:20
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
34:25
Speaker 1: right now.
34:28
Speaker 3: We are back JP Shadwick with John Ozer from the
34:30
Speaker 3: Grove just outside of London headquarters for the Jaguars. This
34:33
Speaker 3: week it is Jags HQ or thanks to Tony Bacelli
34:37
Speaker 3: and James Gladstone head coaching matchup this week between the
34:40
Speaker 3: Rams and the Jaguars. Familiar faces. Sean McVay, of course said,
34:46
Speaker 3: fantastic success with the La Rams. Liam Cohen was under
34:50
Speaker 3: McVay with the Rams a couple of different stints in
34:53
Speaker 3: LA and now of course Cohen with his first head
34:55
Speaker 3: coaching job with the National Football League and learned a
34:59
Speaker 3: lot of offensive football from McVeigh and used to draw
35:03
Speaker 3: plays for him and learn the intricacies of how to
35:08
Speaker 3: put together and design an offense. Cohen learned a lot
35:11
Speaker 3: of what he knows from McVeigh in his time in LA.
35:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I thought Liam Ryan O'Halloran at the Florida
35:19
Speaker 6: Times Union asked him on Monday about what he learned
35:22
Speaker 6: from Sean, and if you haven't seen it, it's worth
35:24
Speaker 6: going back and listening to about how drawing plays for
35:28
Speaker 6: him allowed them access that some McVeigh assistants don't get.
35:32
Speaker 6: And the more I'm around Liam, the more I believe
35:35
Speaker 6: that Sean mcvay's way and the things that he's bringing
35:38
Speaker 6: into the NFL and the style. It's going to be
35:42
Speaker 6: the defining way moving forward. Some of the old stuff
35:45
Speaker 6: is not being used as much. There are coaches who
35:48
Speaker 6: define generations, and I think McVeigh, with his tree the
35:51
Speaker 6: development there, it's gonna be what this league is for
35:53
Speaker 6: a while. And Liam had the opportunity from drawing plays
35:57
Speaker 6: to go in and talk to him, and I guess
36:00
Speaker 6: really get into his head more of how he operates
36:04
Speaker 6: and what his philosophies are than maybe some assistant. So now,
36:09
Speaker 6: just being inside somebody's head during the game, is that
36:13
Speaker 6: good or bad? I don't know that that matters that much,
36:15
Speaker 6: but I do know from what Liam has said this week,
36:19
Speaker 6: they will know philosophically why the other guy does certain things.
36:25
Speaker 6: And I'm sure there will be times during the game
36:27
Speaker 6: where Liam would maybe without even thinking about it, yeah
36:31
Speaker 6: he's gonna he's going here, or they're going to try
36:35
Speaker 6: to run this because they just ran this, and maybe
36:37
Speaker 6: just instinctively he can tell Campaiy you know they're doing this.
36:42
Speaker 6: So I think that'll be a factor. And McVeigh certainly
36:48
Speaker 6: has paved the way for Liam to have a job.
36:51
Speaker 6: You mentioned right before the break. He's still only thirty nine, yes,
36:54
Speaker 6: and it feels like McVeigh ought to be fifty, but
36:57
Speaker 6: he was really the one who kind of started this
36:59
Speaker 6: trend toward young coaches, toward not worrying so much about well,
37:03
Speaker 6: they don't have the experience. If you're a leader, if
37:06
Speaker 6: you if you can call plays, mainly, if you're a
37:09
Speaker 6: leader of men, which Liam clearly is, which Sean clearly was.
37:14
Speaker 6: He's changed in the game and Liam is an example
37:17
Speaker 6: of how that change is positive.
37:19
Speaker 3: And obviously not the first McVeigh assistant to go on
37:23
Speaker 3: to head coaching jobs.
37:25
Speaker 6: It can't even count them anymore. I mean, yeah, I'm
37:27
Speaker 6: sure you can, but not right now.
37:30
Speaker 4: At this moment.
37:31
Speaker 5: We won't.
37:32
Speaker 3: Let's come back in a moment and a little more
37:34
Speaker 3: on this Jaguars offensive line and what they have to
37:36
Speaker 3: deal with this week.
37:38
Speaker 4: Another tough week at the office.
37:40
Speaker 3: Ahead at Wembley is the Rams come to town, the Jaguars
37:42
Speaker 3: come to town as well.
37:43
Speaker 4: We're in London and it's.
37:44
Speaker 3: Week seven and this is jaggs HQ on the Jaguars
37:47
Speaker 3: Radio Network.
37:55
Speaker 1: Welcome Back jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida.
38:00
Speaker 3: To use right now, Jap Shadwick Sjohn Oser, jags HQ
38:07
Speaker 3: presented by Press from Florida on the Jaguars Radio Network.
38:09
Speaker 4: Glad you're with us. We're at the Grove.
38:11
Speaker 3: Northwest of London, home base for the Jaguars this week
38:14
Speaker 3: ahead of the Rams Jaguars matchup Week seven this Sunday
38:18
Speaker 3: Wimbley Stadium in London, and the Jaguars offensive line will
38:23
Speaker 3: be under the microscope again after you know, the first
38:27
Speaker 3: five weeks.
38:29
Speaker 5: Or so of the season.
38:29
Speaker 3: First four weeks of the season, the Jags oh line
38:33
Speaker 3: was really good. Run game was there, they weren't giving
38:35
Speaker 3: up sacks, but the last two weeks combined ten sacks
38:39
Speaker 3: allowed from this offensive line. The run game's been inconsistent
38:43
Speaker 3: as well. The first four weeks. They gave up nine
38:46
Speaker 3: quarterback hits total last two weeks twenty. So this is
38:52
Speaker 3: this is a matchup again this week that it's another challenge.
38:56
Speaker 3: I mean, Seahawks were a challenge within the Rams were
38:59
Speaker 3: a three. Looking the outside linebackers and everything that goes
39:03
Speaker 3: on up front on this defense, it's a real handful.
39:06
Speaker 6: This week, yeah, and they got to be better. But
39:08
Speaker 6: I think James and Tony, especially Tony talked about it
39:11
Speaker 6: quite a bit. And you know, people always want to
39:14
Speaker 6: look at the at pass blocking, just pass blocking, say
39:18
Speaker 6: sacks and hurries. They were a really good running team
39:22
Speaker 6: for the first four games. I don't think it's coincidental
39:25
Speaker 6: that Brenton Strange was playing at a very high level
39:27
Speaker 6: for the first four games. Yes, after his injury the
39:31
Speaker 6: last two weeks not as good a running team when
39:35
Speaker 6: you can pound that. With all the penalties last week,
39:39
Speaker 6: where all of a sudden on seven drives at least
39:42
Speaker 6: they're facing down a distance more than ten, it's hard
39:47
Speaker 6: for any offensive line to hold up when the other
39:51
Speaker 6: team caught. You know, I think I'm having any sacks
39:53
Speaker 6: come at the end of games JP most of them. Well,
39:56
Speaker 6: when you get into this third and long stuff, that's
39:59
Speaker 6: like being at the end of the game. So I'm
40:02
Speaker 6: not saying that if they'd run well they give up
40:04
Speaker 6: no sacks last week. But I think getting that in
40:06
Speaker 6: control and getting back to being a team that depends
40:10
Speaker 6: on the run and runs well will solve a lot
40:13
Speaker 6: of the pass blocking issues. And on paper, at least,
40:18
Speaker 6: the Rams are supposed to be a little more susceptible
40:21
Speaker 6: of being run on than the Seahawks, and Seahawks are
40:24
Speaker 6: high d I think they knew going in last week,
40:25
Speaker 6: they were not going to be able to run well
40:26
Speaker 6: and that's what concerned them. You have to run at
40:30
Speaker 6: least okay this week, or at least make them think
40:35
Speaker 6: that you can run. The threat of the run sometimes
40:37
Speaker 6: as important as the run. Something in the running game
40:40
Speaker 6: has to be there this week for them.
40:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of the design last week was wide runs,
40:44
Speaker 3: just to try to get away from that interior pressure from.
40:47
Speaker 6: It's a hard way to run.
40:48
Speaker 3: Let's come back. Final thoughts ahead. It's been quite a
40:52
Speaker 3: busy day for Jaguars media. So you're outside of London
40:57
Speaker 3: and this is JAG's HQ on Jaguars Radio.
41:11
Speaker 6: Welcome Back.
41:13
Speaker 1: Jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues right now.
41:19
Speaker 3: Final moments of jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida
41:23
Speaker 3: JP Shaddick with John Oser and the Rams and Jaguars
41:26
Speaker 3: coming up this Sunday. It's a nine thirty Eastern kickoff
41:29
Speaker 3: time from Wimbley Stadium and the Jaguars playing in their
41:34
Speaker 3: fourteenth London game all time, the eleventh at Wimbley Stadium
41:38
Speaker 3: coming up in the Rams two and two in their
41:41
Speaker 3: London experience all time as an organization and the Jaguars
41:46
Speaker 3: at four and two.
41:47
Speaker 4: Rams at four and two, the first time.
41:48
Speaker 3: The Jaguars have had a record above five hundred coming
41:52
Speaker 3: into London ever, they've been five hundred, but they haven't
41:55
Speaker 3: had a winning record coming.
41:57
Speaker 6: Were they They were one and one and seventeen and they
41:59
Speaker 6: came over and blew out the Ravens. But yeah, that's right,
42:03
Speaker 6: good stat.
42:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, winning Jaguars team in London.
42:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know they have been historically, I think
42:10
Speaker 6: a little better in London than they have other places.
42:14
Speaker 6: Look the themes obvious. It's not a must win in
42:18
Speaker 6: any way. You're still in good shape if you lose it,
42:21
Speaker 6: but it's a chance to get you know, if you
42:23
Speaker 6: beat this team, you've beaten the Rams and the Chiefs
42:27
Speaker 6: two out of three. You go into the by having
42:30
Speaker 6: to feel good about yourself and you're in very good
42:32
Speaker 6: shape for the second half of the season, where on
42:34
Speaker 6: paper and on paper is very dangerous when you talk
42:37
Speaker 6: about schedules, but on paper, the schedule in the second
42:41
Speaker 6: half of the season is one that you should feel
42:43
Speaker 6: good going into most of your games. So huge opportunity,
42:47
Speaker 6: but a very difficult opportunity.
42:49
Speaker 4: Very difficult.
42:50
Speaker 3: Rams have played at a high level for a long
42:53
Speaker 3: time as an organization. And they're actually coming in late.
42:56
Speaker 3: They're coming in Friday night, arriving Saturday.
42:59
Speaker 6: It's an interesting from Baltimore. I've never heard of that.
43:03
Speaker 6: The Jaguars, of course has left Thursday and gotten into Friday.
43:06
Speaker 6: Has felt like the routine that they like to use
43:09
Speaker 6: when they're not playing games with the buye over this thing.
43:13
Speaker 6: So it's, uh, you know, it's a choice, and you
43:18
Speaker 6: know who knows with the work. There's been games JP
43:21
Speaker 6: that you've looked at where you knew the Jaguars early
43:24
Speaker 6: on had an edge because they've been through it before.
43:26
Speaker 6: U maybe this will be one.
43:28
Speaker 4: I mean that Ravens game in seventeen, for example.
43:31
Speaker 6: They didn't want to be a couple against the Bills
43:33
Speaker 6: at times where you felt like where they got out
43:35
Speaker 6: to a quick start because you knew they were comfortable
43:38
Speaker 6: and uh, fingers cross'd.
43:41
Speaker 3: There was a Colts game here too, where it was
43:43
Speaker 3: like the Jags understood the footing and the old field
43:46
Speaker 3: at Wimblee which just now changed, but and the Rams
43:48
Speaker 3: are the Colts didn't. They were slipping and sliding everywhere.
43:51
Speaker 3: Alan Hearns weaving for a.
43:52
Speaker 7: Touchdown that's right.
43:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So the home field advantage is real for
43:57
Speaker 3: the organization, and.
43:58
Speaker 6: It's supposed to be. I mean, the team plays here
44:00
Speaker 6: a lot, so it's supposed to be an advantage on
44:04
Speaker 6: some level against that not when you go into the game,
44:06
Speaker 6: depending on but you hope you see it play out.
44:08
Speaker 3: John, thanks a lot, enjoy the weekend, man, We'll be
44:11
Speaker 3: here in lind We'll see it Wimbley on Sunday. Thanks
